I hope my allocated speaking time will be protected.
Members of this House must understand the need to protect the great legacy of those who made great sacrifices so that we can be free today. If we do not act in defence of our Constitution, our children will hold us responsible. Many politicians are also intimidated because the security institutions of the state appear to be misused to achieve political ends. Politicians do not speak their minds. They must simply toe the line.
On this Freedom Day, let us take stock of where we are coming from and where we are going. Let us be determined to protect the constitutional freedom that we have, so that our children can continue to enjoy the day that we are celebrating tomorrow.
